Shaking their heads, Zheng Tianliang and his son-in-law picked up the letter: "Sun Wenyao is a literary gem of the Sun family... If Niu Niu inherits your literary talent in the future, tsk tsk, then this name is simply perfect!"
"My... literary talent?"
After listening to his father-in-law's words, Sun Peng's mouth twitched and he wanted to look up to the sky and sigh.
What a genius!
If this is really said, the only thing he can be sure of is that his talent is definitely not in literature. By analogy, it is certainly not in the fields of music, movies, games, etc... At least his talent in medicine can definitely be crushed.
Suppress these "cultural talents".
Therefore, Sun Peng was quite unimpressed by the name chosen by his father-in-law. He rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Actually, what the children will do in the future should be chosen by themselves. It doesn't mean that they have to do the same thing as their father!"
You can also learn from Jiajia, it would be great to be a policeman; or you can become a teacher, a doctor or something like that... Uh, is there anything wrong with what I said?"
As he was talking, Sun Peng was startled when he found that the whole family was looking at him with strange eyes.
"Problem? No, I just think you're a bit awkward!"
Shaking his head, the father-in-law said sincerely: "I'm just a daughter. After all, I didn't know you when I became a police officer. But now that my granddaughter is born with a good father, she will not only inherit tens of billions of family assets in the future, but also
She can toss around in the entertainment industry casually. If she wants to be a star, she can be a star. If she wants to be a director, she can be a director... But now tell me, she can be a teacher or a doctor? How funny?"
"..."
After hearing what his father-in-law said, Sun Peng was stunned!
"Pfft!"
At this time, Zheng Jia next to him finally couldn't help it anymore and laughed out loud. But seeing Sun Peng's dark face, Zheng Jia still held his hand and comforted him: "Okay, okay.
, this little thing can do whatever she wants in the future, even if she becomes a teacher, doctor, or a policeman like me, it doesn't really matter, can't we still afford to support her?"
"Hey, what's the difference between your idea and just now?"
In the family's quarrel, the three characters Sun Wenyao were finally chosen for their daughter's name. Even though Sun Peng was a little dissatisfied, after he couldn't come up with a better choice for three days, it was Zheng Jia who made the final decision.
, solved this troublesome matter.
Next, Sun Peng began his career as a stay-at-home dad.
The arrival of a child brings not only laughter and happiness to the family, but also endless trouble and hardship. In order not to leave regrets, Sun Peng did not choose to let go and leave the matter to his mother-in-law or nanny.
, but try to be as hands-on as possible and enjoy the feeling of being a father for the first time.
The more you give, the more you love.
So in the process of changing diapers, cleaning, and taking care of the baby again and again, Sun Wenyao became more and more cute in the eyes of his father, and became more and more like a real angel...
…
On the second weekend of its release, "Howl's Moving Castle" took in a box office of just shy of 200 million in China. Although it dropped more than 50%, it also brought the total box office to nearly 1 billion.
superior.
Going higher is a sign of success.
If this trend continues, the total box office of "Howl's Moving Castle" in China should be around 1.5 billion - somewhat disappointing, but relative to its production cost, it is already a hit.
In Japan, the home base of this animation, the box office dropped only 3.7% in the second week, almost creating another miracle of reverse growth. Moreover, after the ten days of release, the total box office exceeded 4.4 billion yen.
, no one doubts that the total box office exceeds 10 billion yen, and looking at the box office trend in the second week, most box office forecasting agencies have also raised their targets to more than 15 billion yen!
The combined box office revenue of these two countries alone is nearly US$400 million.
Of course, the main battlefields of "Howl's Moving Castle" are in China and Japan, and if it weren't for Lao Bai, even if it could be released in China, it would not be on such a large scale, and it would be impossible to have such a scale of release
Such achievements...
The box-office success of the animated film almost drove Kelly's Yamada Ichiro crazy.
I'm not crazy about it, I'm really anxious!
Since the premiere in Beijing, Yamada Ichiro has not left China, and Sun Ya has been entangled by this Japanese and almost went crazy - almost every day, Yamada Ichiro has to call her two or three times,
I want to make an appointment with Teacher Lao Bai, but I have the aura of not giving up until I achieve my goal.
Everyone knows the reason.
So in the end, in desperation, Sun Peng could only take the time to meet this person, and then made it clear: "I'm sorry, Mr. Yamada, I won't be writing any new scripts in a short time! No matter animation scripts or movie scripts
It's all the same, I need to take care of my wife and daughter for a long time."
"This, Teacher Lao Bai..."
Hearing what Sun Peng said, Yamada Ichiro became even more anxious and said hurriedly: "It doesn't matter if the script is late, but we hope to reach a cooperation for the next film first! And this time we will increase investment, even if the production cost increases by 1%.
There are no new ones even!"
In fact, as a long-established Japanese animation company, Yamada Ichiro is very aware of his own strength. He definitely does not have the strength to produce blockbusters like "Frozen" and "The Lion King". And even if it had that strength, the board of directors would never
Approval for such a big production because the risks would be too great.
But for animations like "Howl's Moving Castle", Ichiro Yamada has a certain degree of confidence!
Even for "Spirited Away: The Hidden God", Ichiro Yamada believes that if the elites of the entire company are gathered and a few animation masters join in, it is not without hope - sometimes, Ichiro Yamada is so inflated!
But while he was swelling, there were some trees in his heart that Yamada Ichiro still didn't dare to pull out.
If he only has some confidence in Kaili's own ability, then Lao Bai has proven with two animations that he can definitely do it as long as he is willing! In addition, Lao Bai has written the script, completed the soundtrack and storyboards
The script can save Kelly Agency at least two years or more!
and……
As the operator of Kelly Agency, Yamada Ichiro also understands one thing: even if it is the same movie, as long as the name Lao Bai is hanging on the cartoon, it will be treated like a blockbuster in China, with at least a billion in box office.
It started; but if there is no such name, then Kelly Club will be treated the same as other Japanese animation companies. If it can get five or six billion in box office, it will be enough to celebrate the success!
In any case, Yamada Ichiro hopes to tie Lao Bai to the Kelly Club's chariot.
Especially when he learned that DreamWorks had begun to unite several Chinese companies to produce "Mulan" and that the United States had invested heavily in "Zootopia", this hope has turned into a sense of urgency -
—The fear of being dumped by Sun Peng!
DreamWorks' strength has grown so rapidly that it makes people feel uneasy.
So this time, Yamada Ichiro did not hesitate to double the production fee, hoping to impress Lao Bai and continue to cooperate with Kelly. Because he knew that even if the production fee was doubled, as long as Lao Bai's reputation in China did not plummet
, it is impossible not to make money back. And with the conclusion of "Lao Bai's Summer Vacation", his reputation will even rise to the next level, until it reaches its peak...
It's a pity that Sun Peng didn't understand Yamada Ichiro's thoughts at all. Of course, even if he did, he wouldn't care, because after filming "Spirited Away: The Hidden God", Sun Peng's interest in Japanese animation was almost gone, and he later collaborated
This movie "Howl's Moving Castle" is actually the result of rushing to get it on the shelves.
Collaborate on another film? It’s really not possible.
Even if he had time and energy, Sun Peng would still prefer to cooperate with Americans. After all, their animated films are the ones that are popular all over the world.
So after listening to Yamada Ichiro's words, Sun Peng shook his head and said calmly: "I'm sorry, President Yamada, I have no interest in investing more than 1.2 billion yen in animation. It's too little! Even if you put it
Even if the production cost is doubled, it may not be half of what I expected. The difference is too far..." (To be continued)
